Custom dictionary not available

[CarlaCosta]

I have a Word custom dictionary but I cannot add words. When I activate the dictionary in Preferences I get a message saying it is not available. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Solution

1) Go to Word>Preferences>Spelling and Grammar>Dictionaries...

2) Check the checkbox beside the custom dictionary you want to use (there
should only be one, named Custom Dictionary)

3) Change the Language to (none) and click OK and OK.

That's it.
